Appreciation for food, family and friends are the key ingredients in Italian cuisine. The heart and soul of Italy lingers in every dish. The desire to enjoy food and savor every bite is apparent in the meticulous preparation of unique creations. The diversity of the culture allows every dish to be original.
There is never one way to make a marinara sauce or a specific recipe for Bolognese. Each dish has distinct characteristics true to its creator.
Italian cooking is innovative and the results are always enjoyed. Each ingredient is handled with care and artistically combined to create perfection. The rich, succulent flavors of aged meats and cheeses complimented with fine wines makes Italian cuisine universally adored.
At the end of the day there is nothing more comforting than a deliciously home-cooked Italian meal shared with family and friends. A traditional Italian dining experience usually consists of 5 courses. Antipasto is an appetizer of cold and hot selections. The primo or first course is a selection of pasta, risotto, or soup. Secondo or second course is the main dish and is usually comprised of fish or beef. Contorno or side dish follows the main course and consists of salad or vegetables. Dolce or dessert is simply a fruit selection served with strong coffee.
The celebration of good food and good company is the secret to understanding the simple pleasures of Italian culture.
